- Hi, mom.
- Oh, Thomas! You are early today, are you all right? How are you feeling, darling?
- Don’t worry, I’m fine. We just don't have IT class on Mondays anymore. It moves on Fridays, but I forgot to tell you. And the day was really good.
- I’m glad to hear that. How did you manage with the math’s test? 
- I did well, I think. It wasn’t really difficult.
- You must be very hungry, you've left your lunch box on the kitchen table today. 
- Oh, yes. I discovered this on the lunch break. It was a great disappointment.
- Did you eat in the canteen? 
- No, I didn’t like the food there, you know that. 
- And I don’t have anything ready for you at the moment. I’ve just come in. it was a hard day, lots of customers, everyone's looking for Christmas gifts. But if you wait a while, I’ll cook spaghetti.
- Don’t worry, mom. I just get my lunch box. I’ll eat what’s there and we’ll have dinner latter when dad comes home.
- Ok, if that’s what you want. And remind me, what time do you plan to finish work tomorrow? 
- The shop closes at 6 p.m., why?
- Your cousin Diana called, she’s arriving tomorrow at 8 p.m. and she asked if you could pick her up from the airport. 
- Oh, it’s a 2 hours drive there and the same time back again. But, ok. I'll set off to the airport straight from work.
- And how about buying Christmas gifts? Are we going to put it off? 
- Looks like it. But don’t worry, it’s still a week before Christmas. We’ll have time to buy you a snowboard. That's what you are worrying about, isn’t it?
- Yes, actually I worry about arrange with some friends for they could teach me how to ride it. And as an exchange I’ll teach them how to ski. 
- I see. You’ll get your present on time, don’t worry. And how the forecast says this winter will be very good for all that kind of fun in the snow. They promise the nicest and the snowiest winter in years.
- Well. I felt so disappointed about the weather last year, remember that? 
- Yeah. It was very unreliable. Snow, rain, sled, slush. 
- And I practically had no chance to ski. 
- Let’s hope you’ll make it this year.

 

We have time to buy you a snowboard. That's what you are worried about.
